Bigg Boss Telugu 10: Mithilesh Defends Taking ₹15 Lakh Briefcase

Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 has been witnessing unexpected twists with contestants entering and exiting the house in quick succession. Wild-card contestant Mithilesh, who entered the show after defeating Ramakrishna in a physical task, surprised everyone by accepting a ₹15 lakh briefcase and voluntarily leaving the house after just one day. During his Bigg Boss Buzz interview, host Sivaji questioned Mithilesh over his decision and suggested that leaving so early was unnecessary.

Mithilesh, however, strongly defended his choice. He said he had expected a temptation offer because the week's theme was “Temptation”, although he did not anticipate an amount as high as ₹15 lakh. Since the amount would reportedly be deducted from the winner's prize money, Mithilesh said he felt ₹15 lakh was a reasonable offer to accept. He maintained that his decision was not an easy one and that he had already fought through the Agnipariksha and wild-card entry process. Mithilesh added that even if he had continued in the house, he believed he might have finished around sixth or seventh place, and therefore described his decision as a “smart play.”
